[Solved] Grub not displaying menu, error messages from grub-mkconfig

Hi I'm new
I have (or rather, am trying to setup) a dual boot with Windows 8.1 and Arch, with each OS on separate SSDs.
Windows 8.1 already installed, Arch installation (seems to have) has gone smoothly. However, when I remove the installation usb, and try to boot, I get a command line prompt:
grub >_
...instead of a menu. I tried typing 'boot', but got 'you need to load the kernel first'. So I cannot access my arch installation without chrooting (or knowing how to compile the kernel in the command line, which I could not find after a lot of searching)
I followed the documentation in the Beginner's Guide and the GRUB page for installing and configuring GRUB. This is UEFI (grub2), not BIOS (grub legacy).
pacman -S grub efibootmgr
grub-install --target=x86S64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=arch_grub --recheck
No error messages. I also installed os-prober for kicks. When I went to generate the config file (as recommended for beginners), I got a torrent of what I interpreted to be error messages, not just copacetic output:
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
resulted in:
click this link for error messages
(sorry about the image. I had to shutdown and reboot into my windows partition, since I still can't arch it up. If any/all of you have a better way to reproduce output and feel it pertinent, I'm all ears)
so upon exiting chroot and rebooting, grub boots up to the above effect; no menu is displayed. And I am sad panda.
Background Information:
Partition scheme:
/dev/sda1 - BIOS boot partition (I didn't read carefully, lol)
/dev/sda2 - EFI System Partition - mounted to /mnt/boot when chrooting in
/dev/sda3 - Root partition - mounted to /mnt/ when chrooting in
/dev/sda4 - Home partition - mounted to /mnt/home when chrooting in
The installation and configuration described above was done in chroot with the above partition scheme
I originally had issues booting into UEFI mode with the arch iso (written to a usb stick for the initial install). The boot would hang at 'triggering uevents'. I ultimately fixed this by pressing 'e' in the bootloader menu (also grub, I believe) and prepended
linux /boot/vmlinux-linux root=UUID=978e3e81-8048-4ae1-8a06-aa727458e8ff nomodeset nouveau.modeset=0
It then (successfully triggered uevents? and) booted normally
ALSO:
This is a custom built pc.
Hardware:
intel i7 4930K
ASUS Sabertooth X79 mobo
ASUS GTX 780 Ti gpu
ballistix sport DDR3 RAM (4 x 8 GB)
3 x 128 GB SSD (ADATA P900)
1 x 2 TB HDD (Toshiba, 7200 rpm)
Hey, if you made it to the bottom of this post, I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day. Thank you!

I realized that since I was not using EFISTUB, I could not mount the ESP to /boot; it had to be /boot/efi. A quick remount-reinstall of grub, then rerunning grub-mkconfig solved the issue.
Also, regarding WonderWoofy's suggestion: I learned by trying gummiboot that for whatever reason the kernel hadn't compiled properly when I ran
pacstrap /mnt base base-devel
Fixed via
pacman -S linux
Thanks for your help, everybody!

  • How to not display the error message ?

    hi everybody,
    I would like to know if it is possible to not display the error message in BO XI R2 when I try to refresh my reports ?
    (like "the query bla bla does not fetch any data...")
    Thanks for your help,
    Mario

    I've found this method to not display this error message but  the problem is that the prompt message when you refresh the report are not displayed:
    Has someone an idea ?
    Private Sub Document_BeforeRefresh(Cancel As Boolean)
    Application.Interactive = False
    End Sub
    Private Sub Document_AfterRefresh()
    Application.Interactive = True
    End Sub

  • ADF-BC/JSF How to display acustom error message from a backing bean

    Hi all
    Can anybody provide an example of how to manipulate the list of error messages from a JSF backing bean.
    In my code I use a different navigation case and this directs the user to the page displaying the error message but I am sure that there must be a more elegant way.
    Thanks in advance
    Thanassis

    Thanks Kris
    I think you 've put me on the right track here, it's just that in my case what I really want to do is prevent my users from editing records not belonging to their own group. This is done via a selectOne table component and then the backing bean code tests if the value #{row.UserGroup} matches the #{bindings.LoggedOnUserGroup.inputValue}. If the values are equal then the beans returns the navigation case to the edit page. Otherwise it returns the navigation case for the "cannot edit" page.
    So what I am thinking is to return null and somehow raise the right kind of exception in order to display the error in the af:messages tag.
    Thanassis

  • Not getting meaningful error messages from SAPBOUICOM

    Almost whenever I make a coding mistake that generates an exception in sapbouicom, I get the cryptic message: "Exception from HRESULT: 0xFFFFE4A2. at SAPbouiCOM...".   The hex value is usually different, but I get absolutely no indication of what has gone wrong.  It wasn't always this way and it's really difficult to debug when I get no information.  An old post on the forum suggests deleting the SM_OBS_DLL folder on the development machine.  I have done that but it hasn't fixed the problem.
    I'm currently getting the message when I try to issue validvalues.remove on a user-defined field on a system form.  Other posts about validvalues.remove indicate that they get a message informing them that the object is not a user-defined item.  How lucky they are!
    Any ideas on how to get my messages back?  I'm using b1 2005 PL 29
    Thanks!

    Thanks, Sandra and I have thought about doing that.  And you are quite the optimist!   It's more work than I have time for, though, especially when the product is simply deficient in this regard.  I can't imagine one customer that I code for that would find it acceptable for me to give them a hex code indicating representing an error code that they would then have to translate and look up in a book somewhere!

  • Display Custom Error Message in OIM 11g

    Hi,
    I'm trying to display an error message from a validation event handler but seems that am missing something. When the "oracle.iam.platform.kernel.ValidationFailedException" is thrown from a validation handler an error message is displayed: "An error occurred". If an error code is provided (see code below) then the message looks like: "An error occurred. The corresponding error code is ERR-0001". I guess that some resource bungle with corresponding messages should be provided.
    the code used:
    package test;
    public class UserGeneralValidationHandler implements oracle.iam.platform.kernel.spi.ValidationHandler
    @Override
    public void validate(long processId, long eventId, Orchestration orchestration)
                   throws ValidationException
    String errorCode = "ERR-0001";
    String message = "Simple validation message.";
    ValidationFailedException ex = new ValidationFailedException(message);
    ex.setProcessID(processId);
    ex.setErrorCode(errorCode);
    throw ex;
    Q:
    1.What is missing for complete solution?
    2.What is the algorithm that used by OIM to find default or non default resource bundle?
    3.How to change out-of-box validation messages? For a sample "The organization ABC does not exist." message is shown if non existing organization is provided during user creation and I'd like to have a different one.
    Regards
    Serge

    rename OIMUI.jar  to OIMUI.zip
    find logging_en and loggin.properties.
    Modify the "IAM-2050512" error message with your custom message
    Find Agent and agent_en.properties.
    Find Note[ERROR_SUBMITTING_REQUEST].text.  Modify the message. Make sure the message must be the same with in logging.properties("IAM_2050512")
    Deploy
    change the  OIMUI.zip to jar
    replace the existing OIMUI.jar
    login to weblogic  and redeploy OIM (oim.ear)
    no need to restart OIM server.
    Test:
    create a request in web console again, you must see the custom message when you hit the submit button
    hope this helps.

    Need information to help
    what version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.8 as you state correct for the OS? Has it ever worked? What has changed since it worked? Will Image Capture  ( in your applications folder) import the photos? How are you importing - USB to the camera? USB card reader? built in card reader?

  • HT5654 I performed the update to my iphone to get the latest version, but now it does not want to activate my phone and displays the error message that the activation server is not available. Tried itunes and no luck. help anyone

    I have an iphone 3gs of which I attempted the latest IOS pdate through itunes. Now, it shows the original start up screen and when it gets to the activiaton screen it displays an error message stating: Your iphone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Help anyone??

    "We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care?"
    99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
    So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

    My backup is failling to restore and displays an error message: backup either corrupt or not compatible with the device. This happened after updating to the latest software IOS7

    I have the same issue and I KNOW my backup IS good. What happen is when you try to restore your phone apple says something like can I check for new updates and if you choose no, it just takes you back to the restore screen and a loop from then on.  If you dont update from you phone then when you back up you will have the 5.0.1 back up and then when you update to 5.1.1 and then try to restore the backup from 5.0.1 it say it EITHER corrupt or incompatible.. It is incompatible and its hard as **** to restore back to 5.0.1. I followed the restore to a T and still getting errors. I lost all text history and have to reset up email. All just because I wanted a 1.2 Gigs of "other" space back.
